Lost System Tools

Q. I somehow lost or deleted everything in my Accessories folder on the Start menu. I can’t locate System Tools to defrag and all the other options that go with it. Is there a simple way to get this back on my computer?

A. All the items in your Start menu are just shortcuts to applications and program files on your computer. The good news is that the loss of the items does not mean the actual program is gone.

I’m not sure how you managed to lose these icons, but apparently this problem happens often enough that someone actually created a utility to restore the default System Tools start menu items.
